Prevent ROBLOX Becoming A 'Money Grab' Platform

Roblox is the largest social platform for play that allows kids to imagine, create, and play together in immersive 3D worlds. All the games and experiences on Roblox have been created by the players themselves. Once a player has signed up and created an avatar, they are given their own piece of real estate along with a virtual toolbox (known as “Roblox Studio”) for building. They can monetize their creations to earn “Robux” (our virtual currency on Roblox), which can then be used to purchase more avatar accessories or additional abilities in one of the millions of experiences available on the platform. Roblox gives players a safe, moderated place to meet, play, chat, and collaborate on creative projects. If so inclined, they can even go on to learn how to build and code immersive experiences for others, all at their own pace.

What is happening?

Recently, in the last year and a half, the developers of ROBLOX have been making considerable changes to the way the platform runs. Where it used to be a minimal costing, fun and adventerous place to play games, make new friends and build your own creations, the platform has now become what is called a 'money grab', a place that requires you to spend cash to gain any sort of fun from it. I, and many others, have recognised this and are upset with the way the platform has been shaped, and we want it to change!

Who is being affected?

People of all ages, 6 - 26, younger or older, have been stripped of their right to have any form of fun on ROBLOX without having to pay at least a small amount. As already said, the developers of the platform have purely turned it into a 'money grab' for the benefit of them and their wallets. Now, no one likes to be thieved of their cash, especially when it's by a social platform - if you are in agreement, sign this petition and help the community shape ROBLOX, the social platform!

What do we need?

It's pretty simple, all that is asked for is that ROBLOX becomes more of a kid-friendly platform instead of attempting to thieve parents of the cash in their wallets. The primary ask, a low-priced social platform for everyone to play without having to spend a fortune to be able to accomplish anything.

It cannot be too hard to change for the better of the community, can it?
